Overview
- The five-day Earthshot summit runs from November 13–17, with a Jaipur Momentum Retreat, Generation Earthshot youth programme, an Impact Assembly on November 16, and the awards night on November 17.
- Prince William, the prize’s founder, is confirmed to attend the Mumbai events and will take part in the awards ceremony.
- Organisers named two Indian finalists this year — Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, which promotes electric three‑wheelers for cleaner urban transport, and Mahila Housing Trust, which builds heat‑resilience for low‑income women through reflective roofs and climate‑risk support.
- The organisers plan a large, high‑profile summit expected to draw about 5,000 participants, celebrities and performers, and a live telecast to roughly 240 countries to raise visibility for the finalists.
- Earthshot leaders say the summit aims to turn recognition into capital and partnerships after past Indian winners attracted about $800 million in post‑award investment, a shift that could expand markets, create jobs and boost community resilience to heat and pollution.
